    Well - Sebastian Coates! But the headline says "Black Cats Ace set to leave"

    Pretty sure that "Leeds sign Sunderland star" was a headline for Bridcutt and "Birmingham grab Premier League star" for Buckley!

    Funny isn't it!! Everyone's a "star" when we sell them. But then I guess that "Leeds sign poor premier league player to bring him back to his level" or "average at best defender set to leave" aren;t as good as headlines!!

    We'll have turned a massive profit on this lad. 4m for the loan and 4m to make it permanent. Do believe that's double your money in a season. Great business indeed.

    Where did you get those figures from mate? That's unbelievable! I thought I'd read that we signed him for 2-3 so to get that kind of money back is incredible.

    The contract was leaked through that new footballeaks website. The reported loan fee was 4m, and now it been leaked they need another 4m to make it permanent. However, they do have a year two loan option too.

    Could never understand Seb Coates. At the end of last season, he played like a lion, and this season ... nothing. He's found a club heading for a Euro spot, and with Kone coming here, I doubt if he'd be doing much more than warming our bench. So farewell and good luck to the lad. It's worked out well for him and us.
